Would any of you expert or novice deer hunters out here find valuable a web-based tool that would pull live data from say www.weather.com and relate it automatically to the conditions that a lot of wildlife researchers and biologists have found to be the best times for deer movement?

I am thinking about developing such a tool, and would like to know if there would be interest in such a tool. I personally think it would be valuable to hop on-line a day or two before the weekend and see which mornings or afternoons of the weekend are expected to produce the best deer movement based on various weather patterns.

Please let me know what you think.

I usually check for predicted wind directions and chance of rain, but the weather service can't even get that basic information right, much less what a deer might do. I might look at the site, but would not base a hunting trip on it. Late last week the weather service was predicting a 40% chance of rain and we had close to 10 inches of rain from Friday to Monday.

Getting the weather right is true. It seems that during deer season in the mid-west, when there is not risk of pop-up thunderstorms, the meteorologists do a fair job of predicting weather a day or two out. But to rely on a forecast a week away is pretty pointless wherever you are I think.
